Text Quotes
Ausonius must be read to be believed! As poet, no subject is too trivial for him; as courtier, no flattery too excessive  (Poet Quotes) Every poet depends upon generations who wrote in his native tongue; he inherits styles and forms elaborated by those who lived before him. At the same time, though, he feels that those old means of expression are not adequate to his own experience  (Poet Quotes) A poet who makes use of a worse word instead of a better, because the former fits the rhyme or the measure, though it weakens the sense, is like a jeweller, who cuts a diamond into a brilliant, and diminishes the weight to make it shine more  (Poet Quotes) Conversation in society is found to be on a platform so low as to exclude science, the saint, and the poet  (Poet Quotes) This quality becomes important at a time when almost everyone is a poet. And as I said, we live in an age where almost everybody is a poet, but scarcely anyone can write a poem  (Poet Quotes) A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure  (Poet Quotes) He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life  (Poet Quotes) What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music  (Poet Quotes) For a long time I thought I was a poet, but that’s a high title to claim  (Poet Quotes) The poet enjoys the incomparable privilege of being able to be himself and others, as he wishes  (Poet Quotes) No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher  (Poet Quotes) A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors are as men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel that they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why  (Poet Quotes) A poet soaring in the high reason of his fancies, with his garland and singing robes about him  (Poet Quotes) The poet is one who is able to keep the fresh vision of the child alive  (Poet Quotes) The poet judges not as a judge judges but as the sun falling around a helpless thing  (Poet Quotes) The painter puts brush to canvas, and the poet puts pen to paper. The poet has the easier task, for his pen does not alter his rhyme  (Poet Quotes) The poet gives us his essence, but prose takes the mold of the body and mind  (Poet Quotes) How does the poet speak to men with power, but by being still more a man than they  (Poet Quotes) The union of the mathematician with the poet, fervor with measure, passion with correctness, this surely is the ideal  (Poet Quotes) No one is a poet from eight to twelve and from two to six. Whoever is a poet is one always, and continually assaulted by poetry  (Poet Quotes) A poem is made up of thoughts, each of which filled the whole sky of the poet in its turn  (Poet Quotes) The poet is a bird of strange moods. He descends from his lofty domain to tarry among us, singing; if we do not honor him he will unfold his wings and fly back to his dwelling place  (Poet Quotes) If a poet would work politically, he must give himself up to a party; and so soon as he does that, he is lost as a poet  (Poet Quotes) The true poet is a friendly man. He takes to his arms even cold and inanimate things, and rejoices in his heart  (Poet Quotes) The poet presents his thoughts festively, on the carriage of rhythm: usually because they could not walk  (Poet Quotes) A farmer, a hunter, a soldier, a reporter, even a philosopher, may be daunted; but nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? His business calls him out at all hours, even when doctors sleep  (Poet Quotes) Of all mankind the great poet is the equable man. Not in him but off from him things are grotesque or eccentric or fail of their sanity  (Poet Quotes) Scientist alone is true poet he gives us the moon he promises the stars he’ll make us a new universe if it comes to that  (Poet Quotes) Beauty is an omnipresence of death and loveliness, a smiling sadness that we discern in nature and all things, a mystic communion that the poet feels  (Poet Quotes) War talk by men who have been in a war is always interesting; whereas moon talk by a poet who has not been in the moon is likely to be dull  (Poet Quotes)
